did anyone else go to this? i took my little brother cause he really likes hip hop. just in case you don't know, the hype stood for Helping Young People Excel, and it was an exhibition on the art of hip hop at the AGO. i was really impressed. the organizers did a great job, and definitely suceeded in their goal of trying to teach the youth in toronto the appreciation for art. they had a room where people were free-styling, a room for breakdancing, and dj's in the room where the graffiti and art were displayed. they also had other rooms for panel discussions, etc., but i didn't go to any of these. the place was packed. anyhow, if any of the organizers read this, good job, looking forward to next year.

the only fucked up thing was the fact that they did searches. can you believe that!! how many exhibits does the AGO hold, and how many do they do searches for??? it's unfortunate.

I remember seeing something about this a while ago. Was it just this weekend? I would have really liked to go, but work and homework got in my way .
Good to hear you enjoyed it!

"I had a really fun time at this... lots of friendly faces, and well dipped cuties were out for sure. Some of the art was just mind-blowing... especially case's work and prism's stainless steel sculptures and homemade constructed freight-train panel (you know what i mean if you were there).... some of the emcee performances were kinda questionable and i was a bit too out of it (read: hungover) to chill in that room... I didn't check any of the seminars either.
toronto heads have such dapper styles when it comes to gear.
the jam was sold-out... 1000 people in the place (plus the people like me who pulled scams to get in).
should be some after parties to hit tonight.
peace "

I think they just wanted to make sure nobody brought a GAT or a tech-9.

shizzle ma nizzle...whatever that means

Actually- my sister is pretty much responsible for this whole thing. They've been doing tons of intresting stuff and have collected a really intresting staff of people to do these events.
